This attractive brushed stainless-steel electric kettle boils up to 1-3/4 quarts of water for tea, coffee, or instant oatmeal and soups. The 1,500-watt power base heats water quickly and, for safety, automatically shuts off when it reaches a boil. The cordless kettle conveniently lifts off the base to travel to the breakfast table, desk, or wherever tea is being served and has a cool bottom so it can rest on any surface. Unlike many other electric kettles, the heating element on this one is concealed within the jug. This design prevents calcium build-up, which can alter the flavor of hot water. The kettle also has a button that opens the lid with a single touch for easy refilling and an easy-to-read water level indicator. Other perks on this jug include a large, stay-cool handle and a wide lip for pouring. Cuisinart covers this cordless electric jug kettle under a 3-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

 Overall very happy October 21, 2008
D. Robert (Iowa)
I have used this item every morning since I received it a few weeks ago. I love the fact that it is not nuked water. This makes me feel that I am doing something better for myself. The only thing that would be considered a negative would be that when pouring the hot water into a cup, the steam comes out at such an angle that you can burn your hand...just be aware of this and you can adjust your hand placement accordingly. I love this product!!

I am an addicted tea drinker, both hot and iced, and this electric kettle "suits me to a tee." It boils the water quickly and has excellent safety features. The only negative is the measuring window is not easily viewable. I recommend this Kettle .
 Warning! September 24, 2008

I've never had the urge to write a review of anything before but this product has been a nightmare for us. We are on our third replacement from Cuisinart in less than 2 years and this fourth unit just died on us. Each time it was something different that broke or quit. Cuisinart is a high-end brand but the design & quality of this product are both terrible. Caveat emptor.
I'll never buy another Cuisinart product September 22, 2008
Clayton Carney (Albuquerque, NM USA)
This WAS a great kettle, until it broke after only 10 months. The unit now constantly turns on and off and takes forever to heat the water. No wonder Amazon sells a REMANUFACTURED version of this kettle. Since I had nothing to lose, I disassembled the unit to debug the problem. To my amazement, this $70 unit employed NO electronics, just a poorly constructed mechanical relay tripped by a bi-metal sensor. The contacts were fouled and the contact arms were warped resulting in very high resistance. I managed to get it working again, but who knows how long that will last? This is only the latest in a string of Cuisinart product failures. Their engineering, quality control, and customer service, once rock solid (we have a 1982 food processor that still works perfectly), is now terrible. I'm through with Cuisinart!
Excellent kettle (I bought 2!) August 30, 2008
shopdiva (Albuquerque, NM USA)
I'm sorry to hear that so many folks have had trouble with this kettle. My experience has been basically perfect. In 2003, I bought one for my mother and another for myself and they're both still going strong with no problems at all. I enjoy looking at the sleek design in my kitchen and it heats water faster than any kettle I've ever tried. After 5 years of great performance, I would definitely buy another if anything ever does go wrong. One suggestion, I have very hard water so I only put filtered water into the kettle and this has pretty much eliminated the mineral deposits that I did experience with previous kettles (manual and electric).
